Trapets AB is one of Europe’s leading independent providers of Trade and AML Surveillance solutions and associated technologies.
BYMA will rely on Trapets AB’s cutting-edge InstantWatch technology for real-time detection and reporting of potential insider trading and market abuse as well as distortive practices, this way minimizing operational risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Mattias Thulin, Sales Manager LATAM at Trapets AB commented, “The ability to rapidly facilitate detection of potential market abuse is a critical concern for stock exchanges. Built around this principle, InstantWatch is already used by a number of leading securities exchanges, regulators and brokerage firms interested in enhancing their own internal surveillance measures as well as meeting ever changing external regulatory requirements.”
InstantWatch incorporates flexible and powerful analytics tools utilizing advanced pattern recognition designed to assist financial institutions in detecting and preventing market manipulation and insider trading, minimizing trading risk whilst ensuring compliance.
